Festival of Praise Tour

Fred Hammond: Hammond got his start as the bassist for The Winans, and served as a member of the best-selling gospel acts Commissioned and Radical For Christ before embarking on his award-winning solo career. He’s known as “The Babyface of Gospel,” a nickname that refers to his talents as a music arranger and his pinchable cheeks.

Take 6: Since forming at Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama in 1980, this a cappella gospel-music sextet has collected 10 Grammy Awards and 10 Dove Awards, and collaborated with renowned artists including Ray Charles, Whitney Houston, and Don Henley.

Donnie McClurkin: Donnie was inspired to start singing at an early age by Andraé Crouch after his aunt joined the gospel legend’s choir. Since then, he’s developed a smooth, yet eager croon that’s earned him three Grammys, two BET and Soul Train Awards, an NAACP Image Award, and ten Stellar awards.
